Compare two different access rights situations (Scan Comparison)

Compare two different access rights situations (Scan Comparison)

Background / Value

The scan comparison compares AD scans at two different points in time and shows you how your access rights situation has changed.

Additional Services

The scan comparison only takes two separate points in time into account. In order to be able to monitor all administrative actions made within a given time period to access rights on file servers you would require the 8MATE FS Logga. Alternatively to the Scan comparison you can use the Report on Permission Differences.
